LEGALIZING DRUGS IS THE SOLUTION
Editor: Speaking as a retired detective who worked the trenches of
Drug Prohibition/War on Drugs, I have seen the prohibition cause more
pain, suffering and death than the use of the drug themselves. When
we become wiser, we will make all drugs issues exclusively the domain
of the medical profession, not just alcohol and tobacco.
Don't like the problem of meth and meth labs? Make it legal,
regulated and taxed for adults to buy amphetamines at the store. The
majority of people using meth want to either lose weight or stay awake.
The meth lab is the moonshine still of the 21st century and the labs
will go away when we end the prohibition. Crime will also greatly
diminish, as it did after 1933. This ain't rocket science.
